2023 Map of Hooker Creek

About this map

Hooker Creek and its many seasonal water sources define this high-desert stretch of the Oregon-Idaho border. The landscape is characterized by a sophisticated network of upland water management, visible through the numerous basins such as Big Ridge Reservoir, Last Chance Reservoir, and Stearns Reservoir. These features, alongside family-named landmarks like Purser Ridge and Spring Mountain, suggest a history of resilient ranching and resource conservation in a territory where water is the primary currency.
